Top 10 of 2012: #6 Eternal Summers - Millions 

Eternal Summers - "Millions"

Back in early June, I was probably in my car driving around to do errands on a weekend, when I listened to my normal weekend listening: KEXP's Music That Matters podcast. This particular podcast was a summer pop podcast, with a bunch of great tracks—Allo Darlin', Langhorne Slim (who nearly made this list), and one song from a band I'd not heard of before: Eternal Summers.

It's such a perfect little garage pop song, coming in at under 3 minutes. Drums and bass kicking up a quick beat, a guitar ripping off a repetitive riff that sticks in your head, and a cello (or violin?) augmenting the sound in the chorus and bridge. Topping it off is Nicole Yun's vocals that just float on top of the song.

I'm a sucker for perfect pop songs. This is a pretty perfect pop song.
